To light the torch you’re carrying in No-Man’s Wharf, use the torch interaction at a bonfire. The local torch-lighting point is down the rocky slope near the Dark Stalkers. If you want to illuminate much of the Wharf instead, use the separate Pharros Lockstone contraption.
Light the torch you’re carrying
At a bonfire, choose the torch option to light your carried torch. An already-lit sconce or a Flame Butterfly can also light it. The control prompt varies by platform, so follow the on-screen prompt rather than relying on a specific button.
Find the local torch point in No-Man’s Wharf
Head down the rocky slope toward the area near the Dark Stalkers. The walkthrough identifies a torch-lighting point there, where you can light your carried torch using the available interaction.
Want to brighten the Wharf instead?
The Pharros Lockstone contraption is a separate option that illuminates much of the area. It is not the same as lighting the torch in your inventory: use it when your goal is broader area light, rather than a portable flame. This option requires a Pharros Lockstone.

When torchlight is useful—and when to put it away
A lit torch can help against Dark Stalkers. However, if enemies have soaked you in oil, put the torch away: the oil can ignite.
